Yes, I know the history. As I said, it's the formal threat of requiring a non-default Configure option that seems a bit harsh, and the ticket requesting it appeared exactly two days after reports of z/OS progress first appeared on this list, so it sure doesn't *look* like a coincidence, though of course it could be. There will be enough genuine difficulties that the additional warning isn't really necessary, and if those difficulties are overcome, then it also wouldn't be necessary.Thread Previous | Thread Next
